A Dash of Madness

I Miss You

I miss you so much it hurts

The way you brushed my hair

Made cuts and bruises disappear

The way you taught me life wasn't fair.

I miss how we read comics

How you made me wear dresses

Saturday cartoons was OUR THING

I'd die for your warm embraces

Time's supposed to make things better

But maybe my clock is broken

I still can't bring myself to remember

The last things that were spoken

I should have given you more love

More attention, more days of the week

Should have told you I loved you

Every second till my lungs grew weak

But I can't, and you're gone

I hate it but it's still true

And when I reach out for warmth

I get nothing but memories of you

I could have been so much better

Gone to bed when I was told

Should have helped you with the dishes

But I didn't see you as growing old.

I was too busy with my problems

Stress took up all my time

And while you were sick and forgotten

I mumbled about my useless strife.

Should have held your hand for longer

And sung our favorite songs

I should have got you flowers

And fixed all my old wrongs.

I'd give anything to hug you

Have you kiss me good night

For you scold me and correct me

Like when I didn't know wrong from right.

Still I can't, and it hurts me

I haven't run out of tears to cry

And no matter how much time has passed

I'm not ready to say goodbye.
